    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Right below where the tach cable screws into the head.....Is there any fix besides removing and replacing or re tourquing????
 
If it is leaking below the speedo drive I would change the seal & O ring for the speedo adapter first

Are you sure it's the head gasket and not the valve cover gasket (tach cable goes in to the valve cover right?)?
Changing the valve cover gasket sucks of course, compared to say, not having to do it, but it would be much better than having a problem with the head gasket.
Hap had some good things to say about the valve cover gaskets from RealGasket in case that does turn out to be it.
 
I had a leak too

I had a leak too

On my 82 GS1100E I had a small oil leak on the front of the engine. The cause of the leak was the two small o-rings on the front/ center spacer nut that are located inside the valve cover. This is a spacer about 1/2 inch long with a o-ring at the top that holds the head on. Cost $2 to fix it.
Don't know if the 750 uses the same hardward but get a good light and a mirror and look all around, up and down, just to make sure were the leak is coming from before pulling the head off. I was real careful when I pulled my valvecover off that I was able to resuse my 11 year old gasket with no leaks.
